Gwyneth Paltrow's son Moses is proud of his famous mom for selling sex toys.
Appearing on The Ellen Show, the Oscar winner, 49, recalled what her 15-year-old son recently told her about her company Goop selling sexual pleasure massage toys.
Gwyneth launched Goop in September of 2008, and it has since become a successful health and lifestyle brand which sells a range of products.
Most recently, the brand started selling various vibrators and sex toys in a bid to help women with their sexual health.
"Can I tell you the sweetest thing? This really happened," she told Ellen.
"A few months ago, out of nowhere, he said, 'Mom, I was really embarrassed for a minute that Goop sold vibrators. And then I realized no, this is great - you're making people feel not embarrassed to buy something, and that's great. You're a feminist.'
"I was like, 'Thank you, my dear!' It was so cute. It was really, really nice. I'm sure he's still embarrassed, but at least he's putting a good spin on it," she added.
Gwyneth also shares daughter Apple, 17, with ex-husband and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
The actress, who admitted to using her own products, especially on "business trips," also showed off a new dietary supplement for women for "sexual desire, arousal, and moods."
"It helps with libido, and getting your mood right," she added.
The hesitant audience offered light applause when Gwyneth then offered a free bottle to everyone in the stands.
Gwyneth recently told Entertainment Tonight this week how she approaches the sex talk with her kids.
"I try always to be neutral on the topic. I think my generation, we got a lot of messages around sex that made us feel bad about it," she explained.
"I try to just be curious. And teenagers are never going to want to talk to their parents about sex ever, so I sort of follow their lead, and luckily in middle school they had a very thorough sex education, so the school handled the kind of birds-and-the-bees parts, and then I am there for any questions. But the questions are pretty minimal."
The actress also shared the sex advice she has told Apple and Moses.
"Stay really close to your own truth," she told the outlet. "I think the main thing that nobody ever tells you is you have to stay really close to your own truth and you have to stay really in integrity with that truth."
She went on: "Because when you are in a relationship and you are not being your full self, you are sublimating things or you are white-knuckling through something, and I think it can be pretty damaging to how you feel about yourself.
"I will always just encourage my children to really listen to themselves, listen to their instincts, listen to if something, you know, feels right, and to act from that place."
